The systematic design method for coded modulation on fading channels

Abstract

A brief survey of recent developments in combined channel coding and digital modulation (in short coded modulation) for Rayleigh fading channels is presented. Theoretical guidance for design and identification of the most important system parameters are given. Two constructive schemes that are suited for the fading channel are discussed. The systematic design method for coded modulation on the fading channel is summarized, which can construct coded modulation systems to give optimum asymptotic performance on the fading channel. Some proposed schemes are compared according to the design method.
